Picture this: Everyone at your lunch table is having chocolate milk, but you just want a glass of water. What might you do? 1 Or just stick to your idea? Why do you think people sometimes do things just because their friends are doing them?
Kids often feel pressure (压力) from homework, parents and teachers. 2 This pressure is known as “peer pressure”. This happens when you do something because your friends do it, or they ask you to join in.
Teenagers sometimes blame (归咎于) peer pressure for their actions. Some even use it as an excuse to do things they shouldn’t. Some teens feel they have to do some things to avoid feeling left out, but this can be risky. You may forget who you really are. 3 But remember, good friends like you for who you are. Stand up for what you believe in, and you’ll feel better about yourself, too.
4 When friends encourage you to do good things, like trying your best in school or staying out of trouble, it helps you make good choices.
The key is knowing when to go along with others and when to stand your ground. 5 If friends try to make you do something you don’t want to, suggest something else or just walk away. And be confident in what you believe and stay with friends who feel the same way. Then you can be your real self.
A.Will you follow them?
B.Why do friends influence teenagers?
C.To fit in you might stop being yourself.
D.However, peer pressure isn’t always bad.
E.Be brave enough to say no when you need to.
F.But a big pressure is trying to fit in with friends.

Teens are putting on weight. Today most teenagers are at least one size larger than teens were 20 years ago. 1 Did you know that a small today used to be a medium 20 years ago?
Recent research shows 97% of teens need more exercise. It’s bad news because too little exercise means you are missing a lot of good things in life. 2
First, exercise helps your body. Physical activity can make your body strong. It can also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems.
Second, exercise can help your mind. People who get plenty of physical activity might worry less and sleep better at night. 3
You can change your life and be more active at any point. 4 Step away from the screen. You should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. You will enjoy life more if you live it instead of watching it!
Start slowly. An hour a day can seem like a long time. Start with 10 minutes of new activities every day. 5
Make fitness fun. Find a sport you like. It doesn’t need to be the traditional sports of basketball, soccer, or baseball. Those are all great sports and if you like them, play them. However, you can also try hiking, skateboarding, or even rope jumping. If you enjoy the sport, you will do it.
A.It’s never too late.
B.Exercise helps in two ways.
C.Add more as you get stronger.
D.We can exercise in many ways.
E.Even clothing sizes have changed.
F.You may even learn better in school.

Have you ever put your hands in your pockets just to look cool? Have you ever imagined being a special person with secret tasks and great wisdom? 1 I used to be like this.
When I was a middle school student, I once acted in a silly way. I hoped to get others’ attention, but I pretended not to care. I wore big coats and loose jeans because I thought they made me look cool. 2 For example, when most students loved a hot song, I would say it was nothing special. I even imagined becoming a great basketball player every time I practised on the playground.
This is very common among teenagers. Between the ages of 13 and 14, many teens want to be special. 3 They believe they are the center of attention and care too much about how they look. They often feel nervous about how others see them.
Now as an adult, I think my teenage actions are funny. 4 They often feel worried and unconfident, but they also wish to show their true personalities. These simple and silly behaviors are just a normal part of growing up.
5 It is completely normal for young people to have rich imagination and want to be special. All of these small experiences help us know ourselves better and slowly become better versions of ourselves.
A.If yes, you are not alone.
B.Clothes are a safe bet as a present for a teenager.
C.I refused popular things to show my special taste.
D.Teenagers are neither little kids nor fully grown-ups.
E.Don’t be too hard on yourself for your past silly acts.
F.They try their best to be different from their classmates.

The final exam was coming. Lily felt a lot of pressure. She studied hard all night, trying to remember every bit of information. 1
One afternoon, while she was studying in the classroom, a group of classmates began discussing the upcoming exam. Their confident words and relaxed laughter made her nervous. 2 “Why are they all so relaxed?” she thought angrily, “Why am I feeling anxious (焦虑的)?”
As the days went by, her anxiety turned into anger. She found herself getting angry with friends and family easily, even though she tried to be calm.
Lily realized that she couldn’t be like this anymore. She looked for help from the school psychology (心理学) teacher. 3 She found some good ways to manage her emotions (情绪), too. She discovered that many teenagers were facing similar problems.
After that, Lily took up some sports activities. 4 Gradually, she became calmer and controlled her emotions better.
5 Although the pressure didn’t completely disappear, she knew how to deal with it. When she walked out of the exam room, she felt relaxed, knowing that she had overcome her inner fears and become stronger.
A.She quickly felt upset.
B.She began to spend time with friends.
C.She didn’t dare to face the exam results.
D.When the exam came, Lily faced it calmly.

Do you sometimes find yourself biting your nails (咬指甲)? Please don’t worry, you are not alone. 1 And it often happens to teenagers.
Why do teenagers do it? 2 However, as you grow older, nail-biting often becomes a way to deal with feelings. Teenagers face pressures every day, from school tests to friendship troubles. When you feel nervous, biting nails gives you a sense of relaxation. Most of the time, this happens naturally, perhaps while watching TV. 3
Some parents might try to stop the habit by nagging (唠叨) or punishing their children. They might even paint bitter liquid (苦味液体) on their children’s nails. 4 Since you aren’t doing it on purpose, punishment only adds to your stress.
5 First, keep your fingernails short and clean. Second, use something else to keep your hands busy. You can hold a smooth stone, play with a toy, or try arts and crafts. Finally, agree on a secret reminder with your parents. For example, a light tap on the arm.
Breaking a habit takes time, but your effort will pay off.
A.So, what really works for you?
B.In fact, it is a common “nervous habit”.
C.It might start out of curiosity or boredom.
D.You might not even know you are doing it!
E.They may not want to talk to their parents about it.
F.But the problem is that these ways are usually useless.
根据短文内容,从短文后的A ~ F选项中,选出5个适当的选项补全短文。
The term “social phobia” seems to have taken on popularity these days. Young people in particular are describing themselves as having it. They prefer not to go out much, saying that it’s hard for them to make new friends or socialize. 1 The answer is “no”.
In fact, this is just a reaction to certain social situations. US researcher Ty Tashiro wrote the book Awkward (笨拙): The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome. 2 As a result, they end up feeling uncomfortable.
For example, they might be afraid of breaking some kind of unspoken rule. 3 This might make them unwilling to socialize. They prefer to stay in instead of going out to meet new people. But this doesn’t mean they have social phobia.
Social worry is not the same as real social phobia, which is much more serious. 4 But they are so afraid of doing it that they cannot leave their homes. Their brains simply won’t allow them to interact with others in a normal way. People with social phobia disorder can even experience panic attacks (惊恐发作).
5 Some people use self-help books to help them gain more control over their minds. Therapy (心理治疗) can also help.
A.Luckily, social worry can be treated.
B.But is this a “real” disorder (病症)?
C.He explains that some people don’t “read” social situations correctly.
D.So they start to act awkwardly because they don’t want this to happen.
E.People with social worry are thirsty for going out and talking with people.
F.They might feel uneasy because they are afraid of forgetting their friends’ names.
Have you ever walked with your hands in your pockets to look “cool”, or imagined yourself with hidden power? If so, you are not alone.
1 For example, as teenagers, they used to look in the mirror repeatedly, avoid popular songs to show “better” taste, or imagine being an NBA player while shooting a three-pointer. Though silly, these actions play an important role in personal growth.
Experts have a term for this kind of thinking and behavior: “adolescent egocentrism” (青春期自我中心主义). 2 A related term from Japan cartoons is “middle school second-year syndrome (综合征),” seen in teenagers around 13 or 14 who refuse to be “normal.”
Why does this happen? During this time, the brain experiences growth in areas related to self-awareness. Teenagers care a lot about how others see them, and they are focused on themselves too much. 3 That’s why they share an experience known as the “imaginary audience”.
At the same time, teenagers try hard to find out who they are. They are no longer children, but not yet adults. This period creates feelings of uncertainty, while society expects independence and confidence. 4 It is considered one of the most important tasks of this period.
So, if you look back at your own teenage actions and feel embarrassed, remember there is nothing wrong with you. 5 Your mind is learning to find your position in the society. After all, who says you can’t let your imagination run wild once in a while?
A.This often leads to the belief that they are “on stage”.
B.Teenagers often feel that no one really understands them.
C.What may feel like growing pains are actually growing gains.
D.During this period, teenagers are pushed to develop a sense of self.
E.Many adults remember similar experiences from their middle school years.
F.It describes teens who think they’re unique and always the focus of attention.

Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen. 1 Everyone will go through these changes. For example, you used to be happiest in the company of your parents. But now you need your own space and some privacy. In the past, your parents made most decisions for you, but now you want to decide things for yourself.
2 But it is important to remember that they will influence your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make life easier and make sure that you stay on good terms with your parents?
Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child you once were. They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss. 3
Secondly, try to agree with your family’s rules. You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern is just to keep you safe. 4 It may feel like a nuisance (麻烦事) to remember to phone them and let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway.
Thirdly, try to understand why they might be angry with your behavior. Do your parents get cross if you spend hours playing video games and leave your homework till the last minute? That’s because they want you to do well at school.
5 Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need it. The more disconnected they feel, the more distrustful and controlling they tend to become.
A.Finally, it’s all about communication!
B.All these changes are perfectly normal.
C.Your parents will expect you to behave responsibly.
D.Anyway, you should always listen to them carefully.
E.Showing them you still need them helps ease that feeling.
F.Once you have agreed to the rules, try to keep your word.
G.As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently.

For many teenagers, it’s hard to run away from the pressure to be perfect. They push themselves to get straight A’s, star on the sports field, present a perfect social media look, and even be the “best” friend or family member. 1 What they don’t always realize, however, is the bad effects this habit has on their mental health.
Perfectionism is not the same as going for excellence. 2 Going for excellence means enjoying the process of growing and accepting small failures as part of learning. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is controlled by fear and self-doubt. It is an all-or-nothing mindset (心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.” 3
One of the most harmful results of perfectionism is putting things off. The fear of not being perfect often stops teenagers from starting a task at all. They would rather avoid trying than face possible imperfection, creating a harmful cycle of avoidance. Thoughts like “If I can’t write the perfect paper, I won’t even start” become common, causing late work and increasing pressure.
4 It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence. A low grade or simple bad words can make them doubt their own value for a long time.
The good news is that teenagers can get out of the perfectionism trouble. Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps. 5 Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best. Over time, you will feel lighter and more confident.
A.Everyone needs to learn from successful people.
B.Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”.
C.The key difference is how people look at progress and mistakes.
D.So why do parents push teenagers so hard in study and daily life?
E.Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems.
F.They are taught that perfect performances make them popular and respected.
G.This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness.

Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. 1 Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams. The habit can be changed with a few simple steps.
Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. 2 After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again.
Understand why you reach for your phone. 3 Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust.
Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a gratitude list and add three good things that happened that day. 4 When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker.
5 Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day.
A.You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life.
B.Without strict requirements, you may stay up all night long.
C.Of course, you shouldn’t completely give up smartphones to sleep well.
D.Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep.
E.Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy.
F.Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen.
G.Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen.

2.第二段前文提到“Their confident words and relaxed laughter made her nervous.”,说明同学们的自信和轻松让她紧张,选项A“She quickly felt upset.”承接上文,说明她因此迅速感到沮丧,后文“Why are they all so relaxed?”的内心独白正是这种沮丧情绪的具体表现,逻辑连贯。

The term “social phobia” seems to have taken on popularity these days. Young people in particular are describing themselves as having it. They prefer not to go out much, saying that it’s hard for them to make new friends or socialize. 1 The answer is “no”.
In fact, this is just a reaction to certain social situations. US researcher Ty Tashiro wrote the book Awkward (笨拙): The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome. 2 As a result, they end up feeling uncomfortable.
For example, they might be afraid of breaking some kind of unspoken rule. 3 This might make them unwilling to socialize. They prefer to stay in instead of going out to meet new people. But this doesn’t mean they have social phobia.
Social worry is not the same as real social phobia, which is much more serious. 4 But they are so afraid of doing it that they cannot leave their homes. Their brains simply won’t allow them to interact with others in a normal way. People with social phobia disorder can even experience panic attacks (惊恐发作).
5 Some people use self-help books to help them gain more control over their minds. Therapy (心理治疗) can also help.
A.Luckily, social worry can be treated.
B.But is this a “real” disorder (病症)?
C.He explains that some people don’t “read” social situations correctly.
D.So they start to act awkwardly because they don’t want this to happen.
E.People with social worry are thirsty for going out and talking with people.
F.They might feel uneasy because they are afraid of forgetting their friends’ names.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.E 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了年轻人常说自己有“社交恐惧症”这一现象,指出这其实只是社交焦虑(social worry),而非真正的社交恐惧症(social phobia),并介绍了两者的区别及治疗方法。
1.第一段前文提到年轻人自称有社交恐惧症,不愿出门社交,后文紧接着说“The answer is ‘no’.”,选项B“But is this a ‘real’ disorder?”以问句形式承接上文,引出“这是否是真正的病症”的疑问,与后文“答案是否定的”形成完美呼应。
2.第二段前文提到美国研究员Ty Tashiro写了一本书,后文说“As a result, they end up feeling uncomfortable.”,选项C“He explains that some people don’t ‘read’ social situations correctly.”能够承接上文对书的介绍,说明书中的核心观点,并与后文“因此感到不舒服”构成因果关系。
3.第三段前文提到“they might be afraid of breaking some kind of unspoken rule.”,后文说“This might make them unwilling to socialize.”,选项D“So they start to act awkwardly because they don’t want this to happen.”承接上文,说明因为害怕打破规则,所以表现得笨拙,进而引出后文“不愿社交”的结果,逻辑通顺。
4.第四段前文提到“Social worry is not the same as real social phobia, which is much more serious.”,后文说“But they are so afraid of doing it that they cannot leave their homes.”,选项E“People with social worry are thirsty for going out and talking with people.”承接上文,说明社交焦虑者其实渴望社交,与后文“但真正的社交恐惧症患者因太害怕而无法出门”形成对比,逻辑清晰。
5.第五段后文提到“Some people use self-help books to help them...Therapy can also help.”,选项A“Luckily, social worry can be treated.”能够承接上文,引出“社交焦虑是可以治疗的”这一结论,并与后文列举的治疗方法自然衔接。
Have you ever walked with your hands in your pockets to look “cool”, or imagined yourself with hidden power? If so, you are not alone.
1 For example, as teenagers, they used to look in the mirror repeatedly, avoid popular songs to show “better” taste, or imagine being an NBA player while shooting a three-pointer. Though silly, these actions play an important role in personal growth.
Experts have a term for this kind of thinking and behavior: “adolescent egocentrism” (青春期自我中心主义). 2 A related term from Japan cartoons is “middle school second-year syndrome (综合征),” seen in teenagers around 13 or 14 who refuse to be “normal.”
Why does this happen? During this time, the brain experiences growth in areas related to self-awareness. Teenagers care a lot about how others see them, and they are focused on themselves too much. 3 That’s why they share an experience known as the “imaginary audience”.
At the same time, teenagers try hard to find out who they are. They are no longer children, but not yet adults. This period creates feelings of uncertainty, while society expects independence and confidence. 4 It is considered one of the most important tasks of this period.
So, if you look back at your own teenage actions and feel embarrassed, remember there is nothing wrong with you. 5 Your mind is learning to find your position in the society. After all, who says you can’t let your imagination run wild once in a while?
A.This often leads to the belief that they are “on stage”.
B.Teenagers often feel that no one really understands them.
C.What may feel like growing pains are actually growing gains.
D.During this period, teenagers are pushed to develop a sense of self.
E.Many adults remember similar experiences from their middle school years.
F.It describes teens who think they’re unique and always the focus of attention.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍青春期自我中心主义导致青少年出现“中二病”行为,这是大脑发育与自我认知过程中的正常现象。
1.第一段结尾说“你不是一个人”,第二段开头举例说明(照镜子、不听流行歌、想象自己打NBA),然后说“这些行为虽然傻,但对成长很重要”。选项E“许多成年人记得中学时期的类似经历”自然承接第一段,引出成年人的共同回忆,符合逻辑。
2.第三段先介绍“adolescent egocentrism”术语,再提到日本动漫中的“中二病”概念。选项F“它描述的是那些认为自己独一无二、总是注意力焦点的青少年”正好是对“中二病”的定义,与后文“拒绝变得‘正常’”呼应。
3.第四段讲青少年太在意他人看法、过度关注自己,选项A“这常常导致他们相信自己‘在舞台上’”是对前文的直接结果阐述,自然引出“imaginary audience”(假想观众)的概念。
4.第五段讲青少年不再是小孩子也不是成年人,社会期待他们独立自信,产生不确定性。选项D“在这一时期,青少年被迫去发展自我意识”承接前文,并引出“这是该时期最重要的任务之一”,逻辑连贯。
5.第六段作者安慰读者“如果回看自己的青少年行为感到尴尬,请记住你没问题”,选项C“那些感觉像是成长之痛的东西,实际上是成长之获”是对前文的升华总结,与最后一句“你的大脑正在学习找到你在社会中的位置”完美呼应。

Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen. 1 Everyone will go through these changes. For example, you used to be happiest in the company of your parents. But now you need your own space and some privacy. In the past, your parents made most decisions for you, but now you want to decide things for yourself.
2 But it is important to remember that they will influence your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make life easier and make sure that you stay on good terms with your parents?
Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child you once were. They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss. 3
Secondly, try to agree with your family’s rules. You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern is just to keep you safe. 4 It may feel like a nuisance (麻烦事) to remember to phone them and let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway.
Thirdly, try to understand why they might be angry with your behavior. Do your parents get cross if you spend hours playing video games and leave your homework till the last minute? That’s because they want you to do well at school.
5 Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need it. The more disconnected they feel, the more distrustful and controlling they tend to become.
A.Finally, it’s all about communication!
B.All these changes are perfectly normal.
C.Your parents will expect you to behave responsibly.
D.Anyway, you should always listen to them carefully.
E.Showing them you still need them helps ease that feeling.
F.Once you have agreed to the rules, try to keep your word.
G.As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently.
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.E 4.F 5.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了青少年在青春期经历的生理、心理以及行为习惯上的变化,分析了这些变化对亲子关系的影响,并为青少年如何与父母保持良好关系提出了几点实用的建议。
1.第一段中“It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen.”以及空后“Everyone will go through these changes.”可知,空处应提到关于“身体和心理变化”的内容,才能与下文的“这些变化”相呼应。选项G“As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently.”符合语境。
2.第二段空后“But it is important to remember that they will influence your relationship with your parents.”可知,句中的代词“they”在逻辑上需要有所指代。选项B“All these changes are perfectly normal.”中的“All these changes”正好作为其指代对象,且语意连贯。
3.第三段中“They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss.”可知,父母看着孩子长大独立,内心可能会感到一种失落感。选项E“Showing them you still need them helps ease that feeling.”中的“that feeling”正好指代前文的“a sense of loss”,起到承上启下的作用。
4.第四段开头“Secondly, try to agree with your family rules. You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern is just to keep you safe.”以及空后“It may feel like a nuisance to remember to phone them…”可知,本段主要探讨遵守家庭规则(如打电话告知位置)的问题。选项F“Once you have agreed to the rules, try to keep your word.”紧承上文的“family rules”,与下文具体履行诺言的行为相呼应。
5.第五段空后“Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today…”可知,后文详细列举了跟父母多聊天、告知行踪、寻求建议等具体的交流做法。选项A“Finally, it’s all about communication!”在段首起到了总领作用,引出了下文关于主动沟通的具体建议。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For many teenagers, it’s hard to run away from the pressure to be perfect. They push themselves to get straight A’s, star on the sports field, present a perfect social media look, and even be the “best” friend or family member. 1 What they don’t always realize, however, is the bad effects this habit has on their mental health.
Perfectionism is not the same as going for excellence. 2 Going for excellence means enjoying the process of growing and accepting small failures as part of learning. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is controlled by fear and self-doubt. It is an all-or-nothing mindset (心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.” 3
One of the most harmful results of perfectionism is putting things off. The fear of not being perfect often stops teenagers from starting a task at all. They would rather avoid trying than face possible imperfection, creating a harmful cycle of avoidance. Thoughts like “If I can’t write the perfect paper, I won’t even start” become common, causing late work and increasing pressure.
4 It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence. A low grade or simple bad words can make them doubt their own value for a long time.
The good news is that teenagers can get out of the perfectionism trouble. Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps. 5 Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best. Over time, you will feel lighter and more confident.
A.Everyone needs to learn from successful people.
B.Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”.
C.The key difference is how people look at progress and mistakes.
D.So why do parents push teenagers so hard in study and daily life?
E.Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems.
F.They are taught that perfect performances make them popular and respected.
G.This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness.
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.G 4.E 5.B

3.根据前文“It is an all-or-nothing mindset(心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.”可知,这种非黑即白的心态会带来负面影响,G选项“This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness.”承接前文,说明这种思维方式会导致高度的压力和紧张感,与上下文逻辑连贯。
4.根据后文“It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence.”可知,这一段讲述了完美主义对自信心的影响,E选项“Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems.”作为段落的主题句,概括了后文的核心内容,引出下文对自信心影响的具体说明。
5.根据前文“Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps.”以及后文“Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best.”可知,这里在给出摆脱完美主义的建议,B选项“Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”.”契合语境,建议青少年学会接受“不错”,而不是一直要求“完美”,与前后文的建议相呼应。

Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. 1 Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams. The habit can be changed with a few simple steps.
Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. 2 After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again.
Understand why you reach for your phone. 3 Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust.
Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a gratitude list and add three good things that happened that day. 4 When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker.
5 Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day.
A.You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life.
B.Without strict requirements, you may stay up all night long.
C.Of course, you shouldn’t completely give up smartphones to sleep well.
D.Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep.
E.Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy.
F.Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen.
G.Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen.
【答案】1.E 2.D 3.F 4.G 5.A

2.本段的小标题是“建立无手机放松时间”。前一句建议“避免躺在床上把手机放在身边”。后一句说“在那之后,你可以读纸质书……”。选项D“Set a clear ‘screen-off’ time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep.”提出设定明确的关屏时间,对应后文的“After that”,符合语境。
3.本段主题为明确自己拿手机的真实原因,选项F“Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen.”引出了对刷手机动机的思考,与下文呼应。
4.空前提到睡前安排愉快小事、罗列当日开心事,选项G“Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen.”承接了这些睡前的美好活动,说明它们能将注意力从手机上移开。
5.最后一段总结全文,选项A“You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life.”点出不必被熬夜刷手机控制生活,引出后文“用这些方法就能获得更好的睡眠和精力”,符合总结语境。
